Paddling on the Carbondale River

Carbondale River - Starts off with calmer water and rapids get more technical later down the run. Some river wide ledges with small holes that can make for good surfing spots. Keep an eye out for wood. About 3/4 way down the run, Five Alive is a series of ledges that can be scouted from Lynx Creek campground. In Five Alive is an amazing drop/boof on river right that can be run at all levels and lapped on river left. After a couple kilometers of class 2, the river then enters a scout-able canyon section with class 3+/4 features. The last rapid can be scouted from river left. The bridge at the end marks the take out.
